Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Lawrence
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Lawrence business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly affected devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
